Print Love: Chevron

The print to love this season is chevron. No, not the gas station! Chevron is a striped print with a little twist. The zig-zag print is perfect on all clothing items and home goods. The lines draw the eyes up and down, giving you a more slender appearance and elongating legs, torsos and other desired areas. The pattern comes in an array of colors but, as showcased above, pairing a solid color with white is most popular.

Chevron as black and white is flawless. Dresses have are the most popular look for this pattern and come in many shapes and sizes. A short fit with sleeves gives a 60's feel to your style. Thick and thin stripes are equally as fashionable for the chevron print. You can accessorize with almost any shoe, bag or jewelry because the colors are relatively plain.

Colored chevron is just as trendy! If you're more of a colorful dresser, then these styles are for you. You can mix and match the stripe colors or stick to just two vibrant colors! Brights and neons are great for this fashion and you can select two of your favorite complimentary colors like Lily Pulitzer green and pink. The tank style dress is more popular in colorful styles.

Maxi and midi dresses give the chevron print length to play! You can find styles in colorful or neutral tones. The longer styles stretch your body and give you a taller, leaner appearance. You can pair this look with sandals or heels for a day to night look. You can wear this item to a dinner party or a day on the town.

Chevron tops are a great staple item to have in your closet. These prints are fabulous with any bottom. Feel free to dress down these blouses with jeans or shorts. You can make the look more formal and fun with a skirt or colored pant. Longer sleeves is the trend for the shirt option.

Chevron shorts are also a great way to get in on the trend. You can buy a more formal pleated short with a high waist for country clubs and more formal events. Shorts are more typically a casual piece and chevron is no different. If you wear the fun print, be sure to dress up the top with a plain, good quality blouse.

Skirts are the best way to rock your chevron for a day-to-night look. The skirts usually follow the traditional color scheme and walk the line between formal and casual. Dress up your skirts with heels and a button down for a chic look. You can wear with a blazer or jean jacket for wherever you decide to go!

Chevron accessories are a great way to invest a little money in the trend before diving in with a full outfit. Bags, shoes and jewelry adorn the zig-zag patterns that are fearless and fun. You can wear them with a generally plain outfit to really make your accessories pop. Have a chevron filled Fall!
